The night is vast and the sea is boundless.

At this moment, the absolute protagonist of this incident, Su Xia, is above the southern sea.

There was no rain in the area, and when you looked up, the sky was full of brilliant stars.

Below him was the vast and boundless sea, with endless waves and rippling waves.

After moving away from the city, the whole world became much quieter, except for the sound of the sea, which rose and fell in the night.

【View current area map】

Su Xia clicked on the system map and began to correct her location.

He didn't come to this sea on his own initiative.

In fact, he had planned to return directly to Coral City, without passing through Seahorse City, going around in a circle, and walking through the wilderness area along the way.

But as soon as he left the Zero Tavern, he was spotted by the mechanical scouts.

Su Xia feared that once he disappeared in stealth, the automatons would be desperate to bombard the area.

He wasn't afraid of the bombing, but the inhabitants below were out of luck.

Therefore, instead of stealth, he went straight to the scouts' squad, and Kacha dismantled a pile of scrap metal with a few clicks, and then walked away, leaving only a free and easy back for the rest of the mechanical scouts.

"Damn masked monsters!"

"Chase!"

The rest of the mechanical warriors around him were in full swing, and while feeding back Su Xia's location to the rest of the soldiers, they tracked Su Xia.

After that, the entire Conch City's mechanical clan base roared a few times, and the army set out en masse.

In just a few moments, the mechanical creatures chasing behind Su Xia reached three digits.

"Masked Geek, stop!"

"Lord Mercer has something to say to you!"

"Lord Todd is willing to communicate with you, too!"

"Don't run, we don't want to kill you!"

"We want to share with you the secret of evolution......

“……”

As last time, their main goal was not to kill Susha, but to stop Susha.

After another ten minutes, the number of mechanical creatures chasing Su Xia was already thousands, and the number was still increasing.

"Boom—"

The entire city roared in a sonic boom of flying mechanical creatures.

One by one, triangular air superiority combat robots pierced the night, and the tail flames were gorgeous, with a continuous whistling sound of breaking the sky.

In addition to these serious air superiority robots, there are also all kinds of flying scouts.

The gates of each mechanical base have been opened, and thousands of different reconnaissance mechanical creatures have flown out, some like small birds, some like bees, densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, like locusts transiting, and the buzzing sound enveloped most of the city,

"Masked Geek, Lord Yu Tuo of Coral City asked me to bring you a message, we cyborgs are very sincere in our desire to cooperate with you."

"Lord Yu Tuo also asked me to tell you that he has become a fifth-level creature and is looking forward to his next battle with you."

Behind, some of the mechanical creatures shouted.

They turned on their PA system to the maximum, trying to make their voices less cold: "Masked monster, you have fought with Lord Yu Tuo many times, and you can be regarded as acquaintances, you should know Lord Yu Tuo's character, right?" ”

Su Xia: "......"

Other mechanical creatures are easy to say, but Yu Tuo's character is forgotten.

The thing itself is a human being, very insidious, and when you can sneak attack in a fight, you will never fight head-on, and your character is not as good as Mercer.

Regardless, Mercer, like most mechanical creatures, is proud and confident, and rarely plays any tricks.

"Masked Gereck, give up resistance!"

"Surrounded by our people!"

Not only were there voices from behind, but also the shouts of mechanical creatures were heard on the left and right.

Throughout the chase, Su Xia kept changing direction, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, like a nimble swift.

Even so, the mechanical creatures were getting closer and closer to him.

After all, those air superiority combat robots have engines, and when the afterburner is at full power, the speed of several creatures even exceeds Mach 10, and it is like a dark blue sword in the dark night, and it is thousands of meters away in the blink of an eye.

As bodies of steel, these flying creatures have no pilots, no need to consider the physical load of humans, and their speed limits are the limits of their engines and alloy materials.

It can be seen that some of the mechanical creatures are still accelerating.

"Boom—"

There seemed to be no end to their speed, the metal skin on the surface was dented, and the internal alloy skeleton could be clearly seen, but it still did not stop.

The distance between them and Su Xia has been visibly shortening with the naked eye.

In this regard, Su Xia did not have any other way.

"It's amazing to have an engine." With his flesh and blood, he can't reach such a terrifying speed in this life.

Unless, like Yu Tuo, he slowly mechanizes himself.

But he still hasn't figured out how much of Yu Tuo's body that belongs to humans has been preserved?

Under the cover of night, Su Xia rushed left and right, and finally flew helplessly towards the vast sea.

In other words, he was forced out to sea.

He had wanted to make it all the way north to Coral City.

But now he had to enter the southern seas, and even used the talent [Will of the Wind] on the sea to get rid of the pursuit of the mechanical race.

Of course, only to get rid of temporarily.

"The coast has been completely blocked."

Su Xia frowned and looked at the map, seriously thinking about the way back.

Now, the entire coast of Conch City has been controlled by the mechanical people, and the eyes of mechanical creatures are everywhere.

It is foreseeable that next, the coast of the southern part of the continent, not only Conch City, but also the rest of the coastal cities will be blocked.

Even, even the barren coastline without a city would be blocked by a large number of mechanical creatures, not giving Su Xia any chance.

While the blockade is being made, the Automaton will send troops to continue the pursuit of Susha on the sea.

In the long run, Susha will not be able to get close to the land, will not be able to get water and food supplies, and will one day surrender and will have to negotiate with the Automaton.

"It will blockade not only the coast, but also the islands in the sea, completely cutting off my access to supplies."

At that point, the initiative is completely in the hands of the automatons.

There are three major factions of the Cymbals, and the entire Middle Continent and the surrounding seas are under the control of the "Deep Diver Camp".

Mercer, Todd, and Yutuo are all creatures of this faction, and their lair is on the sea, and it is rumored to be a mechanical city floating on the sea.

The city is mysterious, occasionally appearing in the northern seas and occasionally in the southern seas, erratic.

Sometimes, the city was seen by some of the employees of the merchant ships.

The photos of Mohu Lake that are now circulating on the Internet were taken by those employees.

"The sea is home to the Divers, they are more familiar with it than I am, and I have to get back to land as soon as possible." Su Xia silently made a plan.

His stealth ability is realized by nanobots covering his whole body, and he has not disappeared.

As Zhuang Ren said, this ability has a fatal flaw.

When he moves, he causes the air around him to flow.

The cyborg creatures are not stupid, and they must have thought of this, and made a targeted plan for Su Xia's stealth ability to do so.

If Su Xia guessed correctly, the entire coastline might be covered with mechanical sensors right now.

From the sky to the earth, and even deep into the earth, a net of heaven and earth is formed, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

"Is it possible to take advantage of a windy day when the air flow is extremely disordered and take advantage of the opportunity to blend into the land area?" Su Xia thought about it very seriously and felt that this plan had a certain degree of feasibility.

However, dangers also coexist.

Mechanical creatures are so perceptive that it is quite difficult to fool their perceptions.

At this time, small nanorobots are also formulating plans for Su Xia.

[The coastline of the mainland is extremely long, and the mechanical clan should not be able to block every corner, there must be omissions]

[At this time, the southern coastline must be the focus of the mechanical blockade]

[The same is true for the islands in the southern seas]

【……】

[Maybe you can go north and enter the northern seas, or even the far north seas]

[In the Far North Sea area, the land is extremely fragmented, there are thousands of islands, the coastline is meandering, and it is in extremely low temperatures of tens of degrees below zero all year round, and ordinary metal creatures cannot survive for a long time......]

【……】

The little robot mentioned that low temperature metal materials have a great impact.

There shouldn't be many mechanical creatures that inhabit the Far North.

If Susha goes there, it is possible to find a breakthrough and return to land.

"Extreme temperatures do have an effect on metal, but they also have an effect on flesh and blood." Su Xia pinched the skin on his body, feeling that he couldn't withstand the ultra-low temperature of the Extreme North Sea at all, and he might be frozen into a stick before he arrived.

That kind of place is basically a forbidden place for life.

Land creatures such as polar bears and arctic foxes with thick fur and a lot of fat can survive in them.

Of course, some members of the polar expedition team have found traces of the Zerg on the vast ice field.

The vitality of insects is more tenacious than that of cockroaches, and they can form a hive by drilling into a random place, which is incomparable to the human race in any way.

"It's time to move the location, this area is probably going to be searched by the mechanical people."

Su Xia closed the map, pressed his body against the sea, and used layers of waves clutter to cover the air fluctuations caused by his movement, moving extremely fast and leaving the area.

The night was full of danger, and he was not out of danger, surrounded by searching mechanical creatures.

If he can't find a way to return to land, he may have to hide and hide with the automaton on the surface of the sea for a long time to come, constantly changing directions and positions.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the surface of the sea not far away.

"Boom-"

On the vast sea under the dark night, a giant whale suddenly jumped out, with a huge body and a dreamy dark blue, as if it was about to jump into the starry sky, and then smashed heavily on the water, setting off a wave of waves.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this wave is particularly magnificent.

But in the vast sea, this little movement is not even a small splash.

Su Xia's heart moved, and suddenly thought of the operation of the little puppet hidden in the whale's belly in "Pinocchio".

"That's a good idea!"

He has a nanobot protection, so he shouldn't be corroded by the whale's gastric juice, just drill directly into the whale's stomach.

But he quickly shook his head again, he could only hide in the belly of the whale for a while, not for a lifetime, and he still had to find a way to enter the land after all.

If you stay in the sea for a long time, sooner or later you will be discovered by the mechs.

At this time, Su Xia suddenly thought of a super submarine he had obtained by lottery before.

"Nautilus!"

Su Xia hurriedly opened the storage space, and in the corner, he saw the cigar-shaped black item logo.

Before leaving Coral City, he used up two entries from his previous missions, the first time drawing a "narcissistic doll" and the second time drawing the submarine he named "Nautilus".

At that time, he wanted to take out the submarine to take a look, but the game system told him that he had to find a large enough space.

Right now, isn't the vast sea where he is located such a space?

【Take it out!】 】

Su Xia's mind moved, and he immediately clicked on the icon.

He rubbed his hands, and even a little excited, Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" had too much influence on him, causing him to have a deep-sea dream for a long time in his childhood.

He originally planned to find a time to swim in the ocean for a while when he had free time in the future.

Unexpectedly, the time came.

[The submarine "Nautilus" has been removed]

Susha gets a hint.

At the same time, he suddenly had a pair of small specially made headphones in his hand.

[Through this headset, you can communicate with the intelligent butler on the submarine, and let the intelligent butler control the submarine for you]

Seeing the prompt, Su Xia immediately stuffed the earphones into her ears and adjusted the position.

Soon, he heard a gentle female voice, thinking that it was the intelligent butler of the ship: "Captain, do you want to float?" ”

"Yes!"

Su Xia nodded and sent instructions.

A moment later, in the deep blue sea below him, the water churned and the waves undulated, and a huge black oval submarine slowly emerged.

It was like a big black fish, quietly resting below Su Xia, motionless, letting the sea lap against it.

"Hey, this submarine doesn't have a command platform enclosure?" Seeing the Nautilus entity floating up, Su Xia was surprised.

On the other side of the planet, the vast majority of submarines have command station enclosures.

It is the raised part of the submarine's back, and the early submarine does not, just a cylindrical pressure-resistant body.

But later, various countries began to add periscopes, communication materials, navigation facilities, radar equipment, etc. to the submarine command platform, resulting in the command station getting bigger and bigger, and becoming what it is today.

However, the existence of the enclosure of the command station will increase the underwater resistance of the submarine, and it will also have an impact on the hydrodynamic noise, and there are many drawbacks.

Many countries have tried to remove submarine enclosures, but for technical reasons, the end result is mostly not ideal.

"Captain, the command platform of this submarine is not prominent, it may be different from the submarine in your impression, do you need me to introduce you?" In the headphones, the gentle girl appeared again.

"Open the hatch first, let me in." Susha said.

"Okay."

The hatch of this submarine is in the middle, and the whole thing is black, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can't find it at all, as if it is one with the entire shell.

It has eliminated the enclosure and has a stealth shape, like a drop of water, which easily blends into the vast sea.

Inside the submarine, there is a special smell.

Su Xia couldn't tell what it was, it was like fresh seaweed, it didn't smell bad.

"Captain, welcome to the Nautilus."

The lights inside the submarine are on, and the overall color is comfortable white, clean and tidy.

Pipes, lines, buttons, dashboards, and displays of various colors appeared in front of Su Xia's eyes, and he was dizzying to see him, making him feel like he was entering a spaceship for a while.

Subsequently, the intelligent housekeeper began to give Su Xia a brief introduction to the situation of the submarine.

In the middle of the submarine are 16 huge missile launch tubes, which can carry a total of 192 warheads, but unfortunately there are no warheads in them now.

There is a giant sonar dome at the front, and the main ballast tanks at the rear, which control the submarine's ascent and lower decks through water intake and drainage.

The entire submarine is divided into four floors, including a sonar cabin, a broadcasting cabin, a command cabin, a commander's rest cabin, an employee rest cabin, a missile control cabin, a canteen, and so on.

"Captain, under normal circumstances, this submarine can accommodate hundreds of crew members." The housekeeper introduced.

"I'm the only one, can I control it?" Susha asked.

"Yes, more than 99% of the instructions for this submarine can be completed by me for you, and I will remind you of the parts that need to be done manually."

"Can you dive now?"

"Absolutely."

"Then dive, I'm in a bad situation right now, and I'm being hunted down by a bunch of enemies......"

Su Xia briefly talked about his current situation and let this intelligent housekeeper judge for himself.

After a while, the butler said: "It's just a branch of the mechanical clan that has not yet developed an interstellar civilization, don't worry, their undersea forces can't detect me, you can rest assured, Captain." ”

"That's good."

Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart was temporarily put down.

Next, he didn't have to worry about the mechanical family for the time being.

According to the analysis of the little nanobot, he can drive a submarine to the north, looking for an opportunity to break through the blockade of the mechanical clan in the far north and return to land.

There are many people in Coral City who are waiting for him, and they are probably in a hurry.

"Captain, where are we going next?" The housekeeper's voice was gentle and asked Su Xia.

"To the north!"

Susha gave the order.

"All the way north!"
